flilge stiptizle rennet tn in tlgrst itrttrrt $812M mm making part at tip sumo Be it known that 1, CHARLES E. MICHEL, of the city and county of St. Louis and State of Missouri, have 'Ianufacturing Carbonated Chalybeate Water for medical purposes; and I invented a new and useful Way of l\ do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

.Mode of Production.

Make use of the usual apparatus for manufacturing carbonic acid Water, commonly called mineral or sorla-watergf prepare the receiver just as if the water in it were about to be charged simply with carbonic acid gas; add to the water (which should be pure) the proportion of Ferrum redactum (Quevenn'es iron) withwhieh it is desired to impregnate the water; then the contents of the receiver may be impregnated with the carbonic acid gas in we usual nay.

Notes.

The quantity of iron added may be varied, so as to slightly or strongly impregnate the water with iron, and the water containing the iron may be more or less charged with carbonic acid gas, all as may be required; If found necessary, all atmospheric air may be excluded in the process, by completely filling the receiver with boiled rain-water. I V

The water used should be free from all'impurities, salts, or other chemical compounds, except in cases where the action of certain remedial agents may be required, when such may be added.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isv The mode of producing carbonated chalybeate water, hereinabov e describedoit being an artificial'chalybeate water, containing the carbonate of the protoxide of iron.
